The register behind the Chicago list
Chicago shared-housing register — one of the freshest files in the dataset; the large majority of records were filed within the last 12 months.
Because this register publishes little direct contact information, the Chicago list is strongest for direct mail, door-knocking routes and skip-tracing — each record carries the property address and the owner or operator name on file, which is exactly what a skip-trace needs to return a phone number.
Chicago permit records in numbers
No phone or email is published for the 4,231 Chicago records. Each one names the owner or business and gives the property address.

The Chicago short-term rental program
A registered voter can petition to restrict new or additional shared housing units and vacation rentals in their Chicago precinct (a Restricted Residential Zone). [1] A precinct can only be restricted if it contains at least one property zoned RS1, RS2 or RS3. [1] The City of Chicago publishes an Active Shared Housing Registrations dataset on its data portal (data.cityofchicago.org/d/qfyy-956j), with registration number, status, expiration date, ward and precinct. [2] Chicago's Business Licenses dataset on the city data portal includes licences with the description "Vacation Rental" and "Shared Housing Unit Operator". [3]
The Business Licenses dataset covers licences issued by Chicago's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection. [4] Chicago publishes a dataset of precincts where shared housing restrictions have been requested by voter petition (data.cityofchicago.org/d/8eww-pamb). [5]
